サマリー
あらすじ・解説
"Ladies with an attitude..." is what Madonna preaches in "Vogue", an anthem for having the attitude to conquer the world. Attitude is also a choice so for this episode I sit down with the incredible Jillian Mercado to talk about labels, what makes her special and how she becomes a role model.
Jillian Mercado is an actress and American fashion model. As a wheelchair user (due to muscular dystrophy), she is one of the few professional models who has a physical disability in the fashion industry, working for brands like Diesel, The Blonds and...Beyoncé.
A prominent figure in the new wave of models challenging beauty ideals in the fashion industry, Mercado is keen to fight the lack of representation of people with disabilities in the fashion industry and their enduring stigma. She's also part of the cast of "The L Word: Generation Q".
